Chapter 11.3, Problem 24P
If you own a stock, buying a put option on the stock will greatly reduce your risk. This is the idea behind portfolio insurance. To illustrate, consider a stock that currently sells for $56 and has an annual volatility of 30%. Assume the risk-free rate is 8%, and you estimate that the stock’s annual growth rate is 12%.
- a. Suppose you own 100 shares of this stock. Use simulation to estimate the probability distribution of the percentage return earned on this stock during a one-year period.
- b. Now suppose you also buy a put option (for $238) on the stock. The option has an exercise price of $50 and an exercise date one year from now. Use simulation to estimate the probability distribution of the percentage return on your portfolio over a one-year period. Can you see why this strategy is called a portfolio insurance strategy?
- c. Use simulation to show that the put option should, indeed, sell for about $238.

I need to forecast using a 3-Period-Moving-Average-Monthly forecasting model which I did but then I need to use my forecast numbers to generate a Master Production Schedule (MPS) I have to Start with actual sales (my own test data numbers) for August-2022 Oct-2022 i need to create MPS to supply demand starting November-2022 April 2023
I just added numbers without applying formulas to the mps on the right side of the spreadsheet because I do not know how to do it. The second image is the example of what it should look like. Thank You.
